Wow, a vacuum that makes money....one penny at a time. Sorry couldn’t resist. Dust caking on the filter wasn’t a surprise, thanks to your previous curbside finds but glad to see you haven’t lost your touch. Looking forward to seeing reassembly.
I found that same one in the trash but the one I found had a cut cord to the vacuum and I took it all apart and I brought A new power cord for the vacuum and took the vacuum apart and connect the new power cord to the Hoover Windtunnel 2 Whole House and put the vacuum back together again and the vacuum works and it's all thanks to you.
Great job!
Yall this man know what’s he’s doing. I was being impatient but trust me stick with the video and he will save you money!! Thanks for the awesome tutorial sir
Thanks!
Thanks for the video. Excellent video. I just took my vacuum apart 2 days ago. Same model. You took it apart a little more than me. Had this since it came out and just found out about the filter on the bottom above the level adjuster lol. Whoops! Vacuum still working good.
That thunderstorm tho! So peaceful and refreshing. Thanks for leaving that on there. Great video, learned a lot.
Thanks!
I wish everyone would take better care of their vacuums
Well, the upside is that I end up with them and make some videos. 😁
@@VacLab true i like your videos
I am so afraid of bagless but know I will look after them
Starts with a V...possibly a Vorwerk. Great video dude, can't wait to see what's next in store.
This vacuum in my opinion is the best budget vacuum for 100 dollars you get decent filtration, brush roll on off switch and has good attachments.
All my floors are laminate and when I used the beater bar while barefoot, I can feel the dirt hitting my feet. So I disconnect the spinning bar and narrow the air path a bit with clear packing tape to increase air velocity. This helps my Hoover pick up cat litter granules off the floor better. It works well.
Great job , keep up the great content you are an inspiration to smaller channels
Best video I've seen ,please make more on other vacuums and brands
I have over 1000 videos organized into dozens of playlists. Take a peak. 😁
I am loving the storm at the end, I wish we got storms like that in Arizona
Thanks for taking time in making this video. Wondering if you could comment on how to clean the FIRST FILTER that is part of DIRT CUP. I am naming the filter that is like a DISC and has BLUE HUE as SECOND FILTER. I can imagine that the FIRST FILTER is for Coarse particulates while the SECOND and THIRD filter (Hepa) is fine and very fine particulates.
It's funny that so many ppl throw this out. I found mine tossed out at my building. It smelled so badly like dog every time I used it so I just took mine apart several hours ago and washed every part...it was so gross. Now I'm trying to put it back together and the screws aren't screwing so watching this to see if I put something back wrong. Just started the video but had to comment cuz I can't believe people just throw these out. Mine really cleans good. It just stunk and was dirty.
This is the best video. Thank you. It's exactly what I needed!
Glad you liked it. There's a bunch more in the playlist.
That was very helpful. Thank you so very much.
Very detailed video, I like it very much.
A mad scientist at work.
Buwahaha!
Got the same machine today except for blue trim. 8:17 Manual says you should clean the filter.
Vorwerk I am hoping as VacMaster is a wet dry vac with out a power nozzle.
I took my dog for a walk and I found a curb side same vacuum cleaner tiday . I cleaned the filters and checked for cliffs but it’s still not puckung up right . Thank you for the video it just might be the canister as you are saying I hope this will help it also when it does pick up it leaves lines any out put on that ?
For a complete video series on this machine, check the playlist.
Thank you for the video!
You're welcome.
I see that you soaked the piece that holds the blue filter that can be rinsed. So, I don’t need to remove the 3 screws and be careful of the additional filter inside the plastic cone? I can just soak that entire piece? How long did it take for everything to thoroughly dry? I’m getting a tremendous amount of fine powder every time I vacuum, it’s frustrating and honestly unpleasant knowing that’s in my carpet. I moved in 2 years ago and had it professionally cleaned before I moved in. I’ve never encountered this before in any home.

Everything (except the blue foam filter) was dry from the sun in 2 hours.
Super nice video, breaking down the unit with such detail. How did you repair the holes in the hose?
See Part 2

I have a question how do u replace the power the switch? Reason being mine jammed and I bought a replacement butIcan seem to pull out the 2 wires to replace the switch.
I can't walk you through that complex process via text, sorry.
How did you remove the clear/white vented plastic cover that goes over the cord rewind? You can see the piece, removed, at 12:54 in the video. I took out the two screws that seem to hold it in, and I have separation from the back piece but somehow it's still held in there. I didn't want to force it and break it, so I'm looking all over to see if I'm missing a screw and I can't find anything!
ua-cam.com/video/1ixL__YrgDM/v-deo.html
Okay. So after watching the other video, I'm thinking I just have to force it off... I don't see any plastic tabs that have to be pressed to release it, and all you did to reinstall was put in the two screws I already have out. So here's to hoping I don't break anything! 🤞🏻 I'm only removing to try to clean the inside of the clear window for better viewing of cord rewind/action. Thank you for the response, your videos are great! I have subscribed with pleasure.

Amazing tutorial! Question: What did you use to clean the parts in the bath? Was that laundry detergent? Hoover's videos say not to get the internal "cyclonic assembly" wet, but I assume that's just because they don't want you reassembling and running it wet? OR is there something else I need to know about before I attempt to give mine a good deep clean and bath?
Thanks so much!!!
I usually use Persil. Everything getting wet is fine, but you must quick dry critical parts to avoid issues.
@@VacLab Ooh okay, so just a laundry detergent of some kind! Okay. Not like... shampoo or something! haha
Quick drying as in, a good shake, a towel and then maybe setting in the sun or something? So they don't stay wet long?
Thanks so much for the reply!!
Get critical parts dry in 6-12 hours.
Negative pressure flow is what many refer to as suction when referring to vacuum cleaners. Positive pressure flow is used to blow ones sidewalk off or across ones face to cool them down on a hot day. With respect to suction one needs flow and negative pressure, cant have one without the other. I don't think anyone is confused by this.
Most are confused by this due to the suction lie being sold currently in false marketing. And FYI, huge amounts of airflow can be paired with miniscule amounts of suction. My lab has conclusively proven that ad nauseum.
Great help thanks..now I need to blast some good music to flush that horrible music out of my head.
My neighbor that is 97 has this vacuum cleaner its been overheating and burning the belt. I cleaned the top filter out plus washed only installing it after it dried out. The bottom filter I just brushed off and patted it out, I'll have to order that filter if I replace it which I guess its like 14-20 bucks when I looked online it seems to be out of stock, just the filter though. The filter and plastic housing is 20 dollar but she doesn't need the housing for it. I guess at this point I think she might be better off just buying another vacuum. She said she checked all the hoses but I might have to recheck them to be sure maybe that bottom hose as well. I just changed that belt like a week ago and its broke already she didn't even know it was broke till I looked. She called hoover today they told her what to clean out and look for but she is pretty up there in age. She is pretty disgusted at this point with it and wants to buy another one anyways. I think I will take another look at it, I am not really a handy man but I understand it needs to be clean and air needs to flow well. I asked her if she has ever cleaned the filters before she said no, so in the last 7 years she only dumped the bin but never cleaned either filter or changed them. Which makes me think the motor is damaged in a way where its just overheating anyways with airflow being there but I can't really say. If you have any ideas I'll listen to them? I did tell her she needs to make sure she cleans the filters from now on, there is some caked dust inside the cyclone shape plastic I did clean it the best I could seems I will have to wash it to really clean it. I guess there might be clog or hole some where I will just have to look for it more next time.
Considering the unintended abuse, have her buy another vacuum. Teach her how to use a bagless vacuum if possible.
@@VacLab Yeah I agree, I've seen some on sale around here so its a good time to do so. I will teach her how to clean each part and read when to replace things to her for sure. Thanks for the reply, I will help her pick one out tomorrow if she is ready to go.
I feel like I would enjoy cleaning vacuums with you. Lol like a best friend uncle who enjoys weird crap like you.
Good job
If the vacuum won't stay upright anymore, would it be possible to easily fix this issue? Or is a new part needed for that ?
Yes, new part required.
@@VacLabThank you
my dog bite into my cord and i had someone splice it and cover it with electrical tape. worked well for a while and then it started to short out at the taped area and then it just stopped working. will not come on. someone told me it might have arced and ruined the motor. is that possible and should i just have the cord replaced?
Just replace the cord.
Please help, how did you get the wheels underneath back on?
Watch the re-assembly video. It's very easy.
How did you get the top cover off. I’m have trouble getting mine off. Help.
Me too! It just says twist but it will not come off. Did you figure it out?
It’s hard at first
I had this same problem! Try heating the top part with a hairdryer if you have one or hot water and it comes right off👍 it's very hard to get off the first time
I am hoping you explain how you got the canister pieces apart cause mine won't budge and need to get the hair out of it. Miss my 12 year old pet vac that came apart by a flick of the top.
The instructions are printed on the rear of the canister. Twist and pull to separate.
I finally got it off today after posting this. Was stuck good! Now that I finally got it twisted open (opens counter clockwise) it opens much easier now. Was thinking it was actually glued shut on my model but it was just being stubborn lol.
where can I find the hose that is in the base of the vacuum?
I get all my parts from eBay.
God of Vac‘s, plays smashy music 😸✌🏼🎉
Where can I buy an airflo indicator? I have looked on line and can't find it.
They haven't been made in years. Bought mine a long time ago.
Clean
I love cleaning vacuums.
So my dyson dc14 fullkit has a sour clothes smell if that makes since. I have completely cleaned it the only thing I have done is replaced the filters. It doesn’t have the washable hepa filter. I did wash the premotor filter I’m leaning towards the filters being stinky. Any ideas.
If it was my DC14, everything (except the motor) gets fully submerged in a disinfectant tub of water for a few hours. I use Persil. Then quick dry everything (direct sunlight and some airflow).
VacLab I had read online that the cyclone assembly will trap bad smells but it’s spotless. I may have to do like you suggested and take it completely apart and wash everything.
Have you found out what vacuum neighbor got to replace this Hoover
You realize this video was made 2.5 years ago, right?
@@VacLab yes
What was with the ending? Watching the trees and sky with rain drops falling?
It's called a bonus cut. Very popular these days.
what happened to the reassembly ?
It's in the playlist for this machine.
ua-cam.com/video/1ixL__YrgDM/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared
Not him asking what it smells like😭
I wish that you showed how to take the hose off
It just untwists from the base. Simple.
Is that your vacuum
Riccar Vibrance?
It probably was there a Riccar vibrance
Why did you smell the filter an how is that safe or sanitary?
Seriously? Ever seen kids play in a sandbox or just plain dirt? How about an auto mechanic, when they get oily? Dirt isn't going to hurt you.
@@VacLab Right, unless maybe it's mouse or rat poop etc. My Wind tunnel 2 model number is "U70820" there is no H in that number as many others have, so how old do you think it is? Also can you safely wet wash the metal part of the canister inside with all the small holes in it? Some people say the factory says no? I don't have a manual for mine. Thanks in advance.
@@myvicariouslife4012 Thanks, will do!
@@shicoff1398and bill grew up in a farm in the 70's I reckon
That’s a whole house
i seen a chicken
I needed to see how to disassemble the main duct so I can clean it, but this video doesn’t show that.
It simple, just remove all the neck screws. I've made countless videos showing this for other similar machines, like Bissells. Check my playlists.
What year is that?
Seems to be a 2015.
I watched this whole video several times and I cannot get the bottom of the vacuum off please help LOL
Maybe he said started with a b. Bissell?
v stands for vintage vacuum cleaner
VacLab more trash picked vacuums please
9:34 my grandma’s hover windtunnel 2 whole house rewind has a broken belt and my grandma has not replaced the belt in a while
Wait I meant Hoover not hover
That’s the first time I have seen a clear cleaning head on a vacuum
I have quite a few with clear front heads.
I just threw away a blue version of that
Have the "T" model of this "Windtunnel" and they are almost all alike. So if I were to find one on the side of the road I would do the same thing and just disassemble it, clean it and more then likely will have a working vacuum. I would use or donate.
I new by the shoes this guy ment business
Those are serious shoes. 😂
Funny thing. An ad for shark vacuum interrupted me while watching this video.
I get that ad all the time.
If almost all the kangaroos in the world invaded Ohio, both you and your wife would have to fight off a minimum of 5 kangaroos
It might be closer to 6 I think. 😄
I have a vacuum cleaner for my vacuum... no joke
Maybe a vax vacuum these are almost the same as a oreck
I know you
Vax is only in the uk
The last 3-4 minutes of this video is just rain 🤷🏼♀️
Ahhh, soothing rain.
